How it works

PATTERN DETAILS

Right on trend and warm as toast, this turtleneck "puffer" vest will keep your little charmer cozy all winter. It's the perfect project to show off a pretty variegated yarn, such as Malabrigo's Rios, a superwash-and-wear wool that's well-suited for canine couture. The intricate basket stitch as well as the ribbing make this sweater stretch to fit a
range of sizes. And the clever design will keep you entertained while knitting.

As a child I made crude doll clothes, crafted houses for baby frogs I had captured (!), wove potholders and made stained glass "art" at camp. I have a funny little sweater vest I made my Betsy McCall doll -- basically just a small rectangle that I forced her arms through to make it a cardi. I spent hours as a little girl watching and "helping" my great-grandmother sew clothes at her old-fashioned treadle Singer. My grandmother on the other side filled her house with homemade kitsch, from paint-by-numbers landscapes to crocheted toilet paper covers. In fact, when Grandmother Rose died, in her 90s, after a trip to Wal-mart to buy yarn, she was buried holding her crochet hook and the latest piece she had been working on. I hope they'll do the same for me.
